Frankie Meredith
Frankie Meredith’s powerful and provocative one-woman play, set in Conventry on May Day, 2022, explores a 16-year-old girl’s inner life with compassion and humour.
not what a girl should do. not what a queen would do. well f *ck what a queen would do.
May Day in Coventry, 2022. Sixteen-year-old Leigh has been chosen as May Queen. She’s buzzin’, as is the rest of the city.
The cider is flowing and St George’s flag is flying – but during the day’s festivities something happens. Something disturbing, but maybe… unsurprising.
As the year moves on in the City of Peace and Reconciliation, Leigh must face up to the events of that hot May Day, and dig deep within herself to ask – how did she get here? And how does she get out?

Author’s note: This is very much a Coventry play, so please keep all references and setting in Coventry. Try to find an actor from this area or at least one who can do the accent.
